Op 7 februari stelde de Europese Commissie een nieuwe richtlijn voor inzake cyberbeveiliging. Het wil een Computer Emergency Response Team per lidstaat en een gezamenlijke instelling die cybermisdaad slimmer moet bestrijden. Het voorstel legt bedrijven ook op om overheden in te lichten bij datalekken of significante beveiligingsincidenten.

1. System performance

2. User awareness

Every type of IT security, whether it is antivirus scan, hard disk enryption or data loss prevention agent, finally ends up in consuming processing power of computer. Neither does it add any money-wise value to the business. Security program is seen as a cost center to the business.

Many times system performance hampers serious business processing leading to some or other type of loss, which is obviously not acceptable to senior management.
